Is it worth putting a Fax number in the Whois anymore?

We get very few faxes nowadays. In fact apart from confirming orders with a handful of our suppliers I can't think of the last time we sent any faxes in the last year or so.

I'm looking at tidying up the WHOIS on several domains is it worth including a fax number anymore?

No. Publishing a fax number is an invitation to being faxed.

If someone wants to get my fax number they can call me, first, and if they sound like someone I might want to do business with then I'll give them my fax number.

Now, if there only was a way to publish my food number . . so people could send me food. :P

Boy, talk about an invitation to get SPAM! :)

So, would that be SPAM Spam or Spam SPAM, or SPAM^2?
